Good morning everyone.

I was rather pleased to see I’d been gifted a puzzle by Serpent to solve.

As a setter with a considerable reputation, I was relishing the challenge, and it didn’t disappoint. There were a few things working in my favour, though. I’m a fan of a multiple word answer, of which there were several and thankfully, there also weren’t too many convolutions in the clueing, which Serpent has something of a penchant for.
